Israel, United States Accused of Denying Basic Human Rights to
Palestinians

The Genocide convention is back. Readers who were supporters of Liberty
Lobby and its newspaper,
The Spotlight, which was destroyed by agents
of the federal government because it became too influential, will remember the
Genocide Convention (GC).
The text of the GC is reprinted below. It was ratified by the Senate on Oct.
19, 1988, and promptly signed by President Ronald Reagan on Nov. 4, 1988.
It is clear that the worst offender against the
principles of the Genocide Convention is Israel, which signed
onto the treaty on March 9, 1950. In its drive to take over the holy land,
Israel has dispossessed at least a million Palestinians whose ancestors have
lived in Palestine for thousands of years.
Uncounted thousands of men, women and children have been killed, dispossessed,
chased into refugee camps where they have lived for generations and
mercilessly been starved and treated like dogs.
Under the terms of the Genocide Convention,
Israel is guilty of uncountable crimes as clearly defined in
article 2 of the GC. In their aggression, the Israelis have killed anyone who
has stood in their way. One example is peace activist Rachel Corrie; an
attractive young California blonde who was murdered by an Israeli bulldozer on
March 16, 2003. Ironically the Caterpillar bulldozer was a gift from American
taxpayers.
Now, a committee has been set up by the distinguished E. Stanley Rittenhouse
to see that the United States government lives up to its responsibility to
enforce the terms of the GC.
It is appropriately called, Committee to Enforce the Genocide Convention.
Rittenhouse plans a publicity campaign to notify every member of the House and
Senate, the entire media, including newspapers, magazines, radio, television
and the Internet, and all Americans of the need to enforce the principles of
the GC.
Observance of this legal document would mean a
total pullout from the territories occupied by the Israeli army. It would
spell the end of political Zionism and likely compensation to its victims.
Rittenhouse brings good credentials to his new job. He served as chief
legislative representative for Liberty Lobby from 1971 to 1980. In that job,
he testified repeatedly supporting pro-American legislation and opposing
legislation hurtful to America before both houses of Congress. Rittenhouse
lives in Virginia.
“We intend to bring the facts of Israeli aggression to the attention of enough
loyal Americans to make a difference. It is time to take a stand against the
illegal aggression of Israel, and I ask that all Americans join me in this
aim,” he said.
Currently, chairman Rittenhouse can be contacted through AFP. A direct address
will soon be procured through which AFP readers may contact the committee
directly.
